Description
Rapid7 AppSpider Pro versions below 7.5.021 suffer from a project name validation vulnerability, whereby an attacker can change the project name directly in the configuration file to a name that already exists. This issue stems from a lack of effective verification of the uniqueness of project names when editing them outside the application in affected versions. This vulnerability was remediated in version 7.5.021 of the product.
Problem types
CWE-20 Improper Input Validation
CWE-345 Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
Product status
Any version before 7.5.021
